Is there a way to set one key for all developers?

For the debug signing key, copy your debug keystore (e.g., ~/.android/debug.keystore) between developer PCs, and remember to update all of them again when that keystore expires.

For the production signing key, copy the production keystore between developer PCs.

Note that I have not tried copying keystores between Windows and non-Windows (OS X, Linux), so I don't know if there are any possible issues there related to line endings.
